Our invention whites to nn outouuiticulhl operating machine for winding n tire hose pipe, o r analogous tubing, uch M in described in our application, Ser. No. 847,839 tiled December Nth, 1906, und in which the tire hone pipe or tubing is described as colu- :0 posed of alternating lnyeni of lonitudinnlly and transvenicly, circumferentin y or spirally laid threads. lu this tire hose pipe or tubing auch thread is inelosed within on insulation of rubber, eylindricnll) shaped und 2,5 having a stiely surfneg, whereby the threads in each layer adhere together and the separate layers adhere together und form a compact fire hose pipe or tulnn r which is afterwards fixed in shape by vu cnnization.

I0 The invention comprises. rotetingdiighlypolished, `metallic tube upon which the eu'- eumferential or spiral loyers are wound under pressure, an adjacentdeviee for facilitating the application of the longitudinal loyers Sb'in seperate sheets, under presieure thereto, director wheelu whereby each inuulotcd 'threlul is applied in its precise lposition to forni the circumferential or spil-o wind, and a screw threaded feed device to give the req- 40 uisite pitch of wind to the thread so as to luy the imodated threads smoothly and closelytogether throughout the length of the, tire hose pipe or tubing. ln manufacturing the tire hone pipe or tubing with thin devieen predetermined Ieugthof pipe in lunnufoetnred at one time which een bo eonvenieutlv hondled, auch un titl feet, und lthe highly-polished, metnlliewinding tube und 'feed movements are made of a length to correspond thenwith.
